If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.β Napoleon Bonaparte
‘Mithraism, the worship of Mithra, the Iranian god of the sun, justice, contract, and war in pre-Zoroastrian Iran. Known as Mithras in the Roman Empire during the 2nd and 3rd centuries ce, this deity was honoured as the patron of loyalty to the emperor.’ Britannicacom
They had their meeting places mostly underground Feast was their ritual Guess who copied it in their ceremonial magic ? Mithraism had to give in to Christianity Rest is HIS story Hypatia was skinned alive Joan of Arc was burnt at the stakes pop
Hippocrates wouldn’t begin treatment of the patient unless she is in touch with her dreams Dreams that she is on the way to healing If the patient doesn’t want to be healed the physician is no help !
In B School we were made to slog One Professor taught us to optimise our sleep by keeping a dream log Some of us continue to do it Over time they become very mundane He was against analysis and interpretation Just be aware of your dreams You are your own therapist ! The outcome Better sleep Lesser hours 24×7 awareness We work extra long hours
The 24 year old FM dreams
I am at a hotel with a guy The receptionist is around 50 Could be my fiancee I am not the one talking My friend wants to know if he can have an extra room I can’t remember who my friend is Receptionist says the only room available was the one vacated by a sick person Some stain in the bath sticks doesn’t go despite their best efforts I am thinking .. maybe they should flush it out with a bucketfull of water She knows why ? It’s her dream We would see it our way Our Prof would say .. No analysis please He was neither a Jungian or Freudian Just remain in touch with the dreams Be on the royal road to consciousness Don’t create an unconscious for the therapists’ sake We have a dream bank going back to 40 years In many ways the ancients were more modern than the ‘modern’Most of us dream in our waking hours sleep extra long hours and vehemently claim .. we don’t dream at all India lives in her dreams We don’t even know what we dream ? The developed are no different The human is in a deep slumber Have a good night’s sleep π£
22 FM Kottayam The Malayalam movie says it all .. better
Dream snippet .. the following night
A very crowded shopping mall. Waiting for my cousin and her son They come and together we come out of the mall From the outside the mall looks like an old building with cracks on the walls some sort of aancient spot for worship A middle aged man comes with a sack full of thrones He places them on the wall and goes back The themes are carried over ..conflict confusion tradition vs modernity the middle aged man …In this case she knows why the movie unfolds this way She knows she is making the movie for her own SEEing
Why do we dream what we dream ?
Why do we love our pets and hate our neighbours ?
Why do shadows | substitutes | Placebos sell better than real goods ?

Snippets from History Napoleon was not defeated in Waterloo He was defeated in GOC Kerala
A few decades from the burning of Joan of Arc at the stakes Gama lands in Malabar Imagine the mindset that drives the Man the mission to redeem the inhuman begins here He is followed by the British The mission continues More missionaries follow including a very different one..Gundert grandfather to Herman Hesse the Nobel Laureate Wellington who defeated Napoleon tastes his only defeat in Malabar by a tribal king .. Pazhassi Napoleon and Marx are not far away from each other We seldom notice a connection between the two The corporate pillage of the planet that began with the EIC is globalised by the MNCs Process Inverted Culture reinvented
Summary : Toxic Male > Eros> Love > Sex > Power Porn
The midnights children were conceived in slavery The generation conceived in freedom and great hope .. are in their seventies 70 years is end of history for most The centenarian sanskrit scholar kept on .. slow silent and steady .. showing us that there is life after 70 At 60 he had made it known that he has 40 years of unfinished work to complete We witnessed it ..how less is more .. for 26 years Then he ran out of work Departed in six months past 100
It is work that drives us to live Real work remains undone
At seventy substitutes have little relevance We are aging but not aging well living accelerated lives Japan is the prime example Europe is no different The US needs immigrants much more than any other nation despite the loud rants to the contrary US needs India much more than India needs the US in the scheme of things where markets dictate diplomacy
As we age the business of substitutes shrink
Jung was more of a prophet than a psychologist He took great pains to deny it though He foresaw the end of humanity .. the West The Red Book remains unread What we pay attention to is our reality Pay attention to the unconscious It grows Pay attention to the conscious It grows The West created the unconscious We sow what we reap The East paid attention to the whole From completeness arises completeness Culture proved to be a handicap
The pendulum swings both ways We translate it as linear ..an arrow without the bow We see devolution as evolution and evolution as devolution Both are simultaneous ..the swings of the pendulum

At 70 the slow life begins .. the life of reflection .. grand new synthesis .. Regeneration .. solution to an aging world If one weather’s the seventies well the journey is smoother Same is true of India We are 70 years into freedom Our friend the pessimist .. Devil’s Advocate .. emails He is off grid from FB The rot is pervasive
It is good to be reminded
The Unconscious has been globalised The earlier waves of globalisation were not this toxic We already have enough of first monkeys The Ark phase is behind us Things can not get any worser Will not if we will

The concept of The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid originally appeared as an article by C. K. Prahalad and Stuart L. Hart in the business journal Strategy+Business.[1][2] The article was followed by a book with the same title that discusses new business models targeted at providing goods and services to the poorest people in the world. It makes a case for the fastest growing new markets and entrepreneurial opportunities being found among the billions of poor people ‘at the bottom of the [financial] pyramid’. According to Bill Gates, it “offers an intriguing blueprint for how to fight poverty with profitabilityp Wiki
The theory of conscious agents proposed by Hoffman and Prakash (2014) takes conscious agents, rather than physical objects and space-time, as fundamental. Thus the perceptions and actions of a conscious agent are not localized in space-time, and conscious agents cannot be reduced to microphysical particles or fields.

an extremely difficult or involved problem.
Quipu (also spelled khipu), or talking knots,[1] are recording devices fashioned from strings historically used by a number of cultures in the region of Andean South America.[2] Knotted strings were used by many other cultures such as the ancient Chinese and native Hawaiians,[3] but such practices should not be confused with the quipu, which refers only to the Andean device. wiki
